You are completely incorrect, Chan. No one here (forgive me for speaking for others) is haughtily saying that they arrogantly think of their children as being superior to others' children when they say they are "proud" of them.
What they ARE saying (again, I'm speaking for them - sorry) is that they are very pleased and delighted with their children. (This is ALSO the definition of "pride.")
Some words DO have more than one meaning. "Pride" being one of them.
You are accusing parents of being lofty/haughty.
